I didn't even fucking see Ellen Allien the first time I read that. How come no Apparat with her?

I saw Apparat earlier this year. Don't know if he's still performing this way, but it was basically him playing really boring shoegaze with a full band. I mean, I like shoegaze. I like Apparat. But it was boring as FUCK. I left like half an hour into it.

I've seen Justice DJ multiple times now and they aren't awful, they're pretty fun. They get a lot of shit for their DJing, but they really aren't any worse than MSTRKRFT or any of those guys, IMO. At least a DJ set by them wouldn't be basically the same show for the third time.

Josh, I've been listening to the Avalanches album today and like it a lot. Even more intriguing that they're "known for their excellent DJ sets." I want some of that.

They are one of the acts that got me into electronic music. The more you listen to it, the more you'll like it.

Avalanches DJ set 2 years ago was one of the best i've ever seen. It was just one of those sets which gets you up to dance. Don't you think sometimes you forget the reason for seeing a DJ is to go and have fun...this was one of those sets where you're not mosh/dancing or nodding or shuffling your feet...this was one of those sets where you have a massive fucking smile plastered across your face the whole time and dancing around, slinging friends, hugging people etc etc etc

It was very good :)

This makes me so happy. I want to see them sooooooo bad. It sounds like it is EXACTLY how I want it to be. Big fucking smiles, dancing, hugs and great music! I can only imagine how thier live sets are.

he is still performing with his band. i think it's pretty good. he loves having a band and play live, and the guys are finally forming a good team.and adding the fact that apparat is a great musician.

he's not playing with ellen allien anymore though. that was a experimental project and it worked great. after that, apparat went with his band, and ellen keeps working on her solo projects. last year, my friend tried to book them for some shows in south america and they said a show with both of them was not possible. coachella could make it happen though.

Couple of things:

RITM might not happen simply because of Bunny's injury. Haven't hard anything about how he's doing since the BunnyFit at Vanguard back in early October. I can say that they stole the show for me at EDC. I'd never seen them and they were fantastic.

Re: Deadmau5 - somebody a few pages back said he's pretty much ruled out. Can you expand on that? I've seen him twice this year (missed at Coachella last year) and he's got it goin' on right now. One of the times I saw him was in the freaking Virgin Megastore @ Hollywood & Highland. Sound sucked, but he still rocked it, for free, for a solid hour. I'm going to get my fix on New Year's Eve, but the way he's been producing this year, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a brand new set by Coachella time in '09.

For those that don't have The Presets on your list, you're making a mistake.

white t (has to be wearable AT coachella), black flag with a red star on the front, and in block white text:
"I survived rager grrr '07"

on the back, the stereotypical che guevara stencil, about 9 inches in diameter, followed by the text:
"this man was NOT a member of rage against the machine"

Confusious (?) did okay, but they're definitely a live act. The DJ set was not great. In the intro though, he talked about how Bunny was hurt really badly by some assholes in Korea. Apparently someone threw a glass bottle at him during a show and it hit is orbital bone and shattered. :sad: Medical bills must be a sob.

Yay for TAO! By this nye, I will have seen Deadmau5 four times already so I really could care less if he played Coachella or not. I REALLY wanted to go to the Bunny fund raiser but I wasn't 21 yet and sneaking in didn't work. Seeing them at EDC was beyond amazing though. I was so enthralled by everything Bunny did, even though I knew exactly what their stage performance looked like. So hopefully he is ready to go by 2009.

Christ there were two Sheriffs working the door with security. Never seen anything like that before in Hollywood. They were complete dicks too. Pretty much screwed with everyone in line....they weren't even checking anyone....just standing there making comments.

Erelend Oye and Royksopp being both booked is a little much, and Krafty Kuts' timeslot is weird as hell (I think he and Freeland or even he and M.A.N.D.Y. ought to switch slots) but overall not a bad job. Didn't know you had a spot in your heart for Shinichi Osawa though.

there may be a few missing, and I know its unrealistic, but damn. for me, that would be cool.

idrive1life

11-30-2008, 07:08 AM

I know some people are saying here they are too big at Sahara. I think they are too big in this message board only. But I think they better be at Sahara. You don't want Tears for Fears get the same lame Coachella crowd Depeche Mode got in '06 and Kraftwerk got in '08, Salah ... right?

Well it's not that, it's the type of music that they play. It doesn't really fit the Sahara, don't you think? They would have to remix a lot of their shit if they want to keep the ravers happy, which is something I dont want. You know what I mean? What about outdoor theater? Imagine "Head Over Heels" as the sun sets....

p.s.-was the kraftwerk crowd this year really considered "lame"?

11-30-2008, 07:23 AM

Ooh, you did'nt notice? (Re: crowd at Kraftwerk)

Fine. Tears for Fears headlining Outdoor stage. I don't think they'll get an outdoor crowd like this at Coachella.

mcbgRUQaza8

You don't want them to get a crowd waiting for headliners at main stage! They are going to be really lame ... TRUST ME! Get my point as to why they should play at Sahara AND not play as one of the subs at outdoor stages?

Acts who DJ or mix stuffs are not the only ones should be playing at Sahara. Look where PSB and Club 8 at? Yeah, Tears for Fears can be inventive with their live set by them having play extended remix versions of Head Over Heals, Mad World, Everybody Wants to Rule the World etc. Yeah, take note EXTENDED REMIX. Pale Shelter, Head Over Heals, Mad World, Change, Shout ... how can those songs not be appropriate at Sahara? I'd imagine everyone will have their most epic time ever at Sahara.

And ooh, GV can convert the Sahara (so it could accommodate big crowds) for all those days like what they did for Madonna. See? Madonna at Sahara. Did she DJ or remix stuffs?

That is possible the greatest live video i've ever seen and it is further proof that T4F belong on a proper rock'n'roll stage. But you know what, I'll take them however Coachella decides to serve them. I'm not too sure what you mean by EXTENDED REMIX, though. I just don't want the songs to be almost unrecognizable, I want to rock out to the songs I played and played and played in high school. :)

p.s.-Lead singer's hair is AMAZINGGGG

p.s.s.-C'mon idrive, Madonna IS MADONNA. Plus, she was promoting her "Confessions on a Dance Floor" album. Also, she's MADONNA.

Were you one of those gawking/too mesmerized ... just nodding their heads during Kraftwerk? :)

I was coming up on some acid. If I remember correctly, they're not exactly outrageously danceable. But don't get me wrong, I had a blast! I knew zero kraftwerk before that night. It's really nice sometimes having a clean slate of knowledge when it comes to seeing a band live. Those robot things WERE SO COOL

Hint: I am not expecting a giant dance party / many real electronic fans also saw how lame the crowd was everywhere ... crowd/people scratching their heads / just gawking (mostly confused) ... they are there mostly waiting for Prince

Kraftwerk was the biggest draw for me in 08, and I actually walked away disappointed in the crowd (not Kraftwerk). I expected a higher energy crowd and more dancing. I was on the left side about 10 ft in front of the sound board.

Just to comment on whoever's dream lineup from a few pages back: Fennesz and Club 8? In the Sahara?!

Kraftwerk was amazing, but that crowd did suck. Most people where I was (very close to the stage on the left) were just standing there. I guess if you can't pogo up and down to it for an hour then most people don't consider it "dance" music.

H&LA would be good (anyone see them on tour this year? They were awesome!) and probably going to happen. Pitchfork-approved recently popular DFA act? That should be an obvious choice for GV.

Also, can we start an official "no Crookers, Bloody Beetroots, or Crystal Castles" petition? Please?

Well I said Stardust cuz I also mentioned the other very unlikely duo, Le Night Club. So like a Roule and Crydamoure reunion... best of both worlds haha.

I'd say you are batting pretty close to 100% on that one. Although, is there something that makes you think Etienne de crecy is likely? Other then his show looks amazingly awesome?

I always think all the house music artists like Falcon and Etienne are really hard to come across at a show (though I did see DJ Falcon at LAX about 3 weeks ago and signed my Roule vinyl) It's one of those artists you'd see on very rare occasions.

Nevermind when I mentioned Busy P unlikely, cuz he just recently put the coachella myspace on his top 8.

Like you said, DJ Falcon just toured, and I think he played NYC around this time last year as well. He's one of the few Cryda/Roule guys that still DJs regularly, I think, but I don't really follow his tour schedule, so not really sure.

I saw The Presets in 06 and they were great. Not really into them as much anymore now, though (overhyped, new album sucked, etc.).

Also, I just realized, Alan Braxe? Definitely fills the "classic Daft Punk related DJ" spot, still DJing often, and a big enough name to get a decent set time.

Kaskade and Prydz are terrible, though. And Prydz gets played by a ton of Electro House DJs anyway.

I can't wait until GV books some new DJs so two years from now all of you guys will still be asking to see them again. It's already starting to happen with Booka Shade, and I'm already calling Boratto as the "surprise amazing DJ that somehow nobody knew about despite being massively popular" of 09.
